This French restaurant is located on Leighton Road in Causeway Bay, as part of Towngas flagship store, together with Towngas Cooking Centre. It is under executive chef Shine Chiu, who advocates the use of locally sourced ingredients on a farm to table concept.Walking up the stairs, we were seated at the main dining area. The décor is stylish, offering a cozy and relaxing ambience to diners. There is also a private room on the other side of the stairs, tailored for larger groups.I have opted for the 4-Course Set Dinner ($728) while my wife goes for the 3-Course ($658). For appetizers, I started with Tuna Tataki, with the raw tuna dressed in dashi and a bit of wasabi to season, together with some sesame to increase the fragrance. The shredded kombu further adds umami to the fish.The other appetizer I picked is Hand-cut Beef Tartare a la Parisienne. Served on a cut-open bone marrow, the beef tartare is seasoned beautifully, together with some pickled shallot. On the side are some fried chips which can combine with the tartare to enjoy together, providing additional texture. Good in taste.For the main course I have Catch of the Day, a local-farmed seabass, filleted and then pan-fried, with crisp skin, moist and tender flesh, paired with a garlic beurre blanc sauce which shows the perfect balance of sweetness and sourness. There are also some seasonal vegetables to balance the palate.I picked Burnt Basque Cheesecake for dessert. The cheesecake is rich, soft and sweet, with the cream cheese delicious in taste. On the side are some orange compotes to give a bit of citrus acidity to balance the cheesecake. Indulgent but rewarding, it provided a satisfying finish to the dinner.Together with two glasses of Schloss Johannisberg Riesling 2023 ($118 each), the bill on the night is $1,846. Service is good, but the staff could explain more the dishes, especially considering the farm-to-table concept, it would be good for diners to know where some of the food ingredients actually come from.…查看更多
